Fasting before breast augmentation surgery?

It is very important that patients fast before a surgery,
especially under a general anaesthesia to avoid aspiration of stomach contents when
being placed under sedation. Most surgeons will request that patients not eat
or drink anything after midnight so this will ensure that you have a
full 8 hours of fasting time before receiving anaesthesia. Should a patient’s
surgical time move up within the surgical lineup due to unforeseen changes, it
would still be safe for the patient to proceed with surgery.

Generally speaking, patients should not eat or drink anything 8-12 hours prior to their surgical procedure. However, speak with your surgeon as he/she may have different protocol.Regards,
